Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Thanks gents, I tried both tricks yesterday to no avail. Being low profile tires, they would not spread like the 31x10.5 tires would and the gap is too big for the either trick and momma was none-to-happy that I tried it since I survived a catastrophic burn a decade ago and she is a little "concerned" about fire nowadays. 

I'm trying the small bike tire tube in the gap this morning, if that doesn't work, to the shop I go!! 

I am sure only you know if it is worth anymore effort on your part, or to just pay the ones that have equipment that make it easy. So far I haven't come across a tire I couldn't get seated but I have come close before. In all honesty I would have been better off to just pay to have those inflated but... I can be stubborn, LOL. With manual equipment tires can be a pain sometimes, I changed some old off road only tires off my '69 GMC once and they were so stiff that I was very sore after that battle day. I need to think more along the lines of "Just because I can, doesn't mean I should". But hey, I won the day, I did say the day twice for a reason, it took most of the day, LOL

I have mounted all my motorcycle tires on my Road King, Honda VTX, and Honda Valkyrie and a few for other people for years and I have a couple of those fight too. I have the Harbor Freight tire changer with motorcycle adapter "Mojoblocks", and some good tire irons including a 3' Mojolever that works great for motorcycle tires.

These tires were rigid/stiff, I took them off because the ride with them was too had on my back. Even though they said for off road racing only on the sidewalls Goodyear sold the same tires for on road use just not in that exact size. I got a deal on them and had them on the truck for a few years. Two of them were grooved for the dirt track. I paid $100 each when they were almost new.

Dan,

I GOT THEM!!

The 16" kids bike tube took up the 2" gap on the inside so I could touch the bead to the rim in front. I'll keep this on in the play book for sure!!

The tires were $434.00 for 4 delivered, the shop wanted $230 a tire PLUS $39 each for mounting and balancing. No can do.

Time for a road test...

Good morning GTA! Happy Friday! Got home from work at 2230 hrs and got up at 0520 CT. Go figure?! I asked for a PTO for today and got denied. I was a little miffed and talked to my first-in-line, he helped a little, and I put in for vacation for the 8th-12th butted by 2 weekends. Got approved. I just gotta make it til then. They have a real doozy of a job on me, a quote to rebuild an air handler at a gas station 14’ above the lady’s restroom. Not sure if we’re really doing that today though. Just finished my coffee and I’m getting ready. I’ll visit the chiropractor and then call the office. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning GTA! Up at 0530 CDT.  I hope everyone has had a pleasant week so far. It's 64° and we'll have a sunny day reaching 80° by this afternoon.  Yesterday was very humid and felt sticky. I'll see how it's goes today but regardless I want to shoot my R9 .177 some more today.

Mornin y’all.  With the weird schedule I work these days I periodically end up with a three day weekend. Today is day three.  The memsahib and I are off to Re-store to unload a couch she has decided she does not like.  Then we are going to swing by the local animal rescue and look at pups.

 I hired a landscaper to do some leveling and ended up digging out and piling up about 40 tons of concrete slab from the ground. Some got stacked out of the way and out of site but the rest needs to be picked up and hauled away.

I know in CA old concrete gets crushed and re-used as "Road Base". Maybe there is a paving recycler near by that may take it? Just a suggestion that may save some cost of having it hauled off, since there is a large quantity they may just take it?

Just halling water today but going to Enduro Cross tomorrow night in Prescott AZ.

Clean concrete (most of what I have) is free to drop off for recycling but it still has to be loaded and brought to the site 40 miles away. It'll cost a grand for two loads.

Good morning GTA! Up at 0630 CT. I’m covering a guy for on call today. I’m hoping for no calls. My wife just left for work and not 2 minutes later she calls and she’s got a tire leaking, I checked and it was down 10 lbs. from 35 psi like the others. The car isn’t but 7 months old, so she’s going to the dealership when they open. I was hoping to shoot some if I don’t get called out, we’ll see.

Good Morning all I'm heading over to the travel trailer for some putting away clothes and gear then replacing the water pump and partially filling the fresh water tank then a couple of other small chores to complete some of the minor repairs that I felt are needed.

Good morning GTA! It’s Monday, up at 0500 CT, I woke up at 0330, but said “nope” and fell back asleep. I hope everyone had a decent weekend. I have a 3 hour drive to my first job today, a freezer not keeping temperature.

Boss came in the bedroom at 3:30 this morning with her chew rope in her mouth. She woke me up growling and wanting to play. I sent her out of the room but I was already wide awake by then so I got up and made coffee. She went back to her bed and went to sleep.... 

[Lt. Dan]

Good morning GTA! Yep, it’s Monday, up at 0507 CDT. Saturday and Sunday my son and I worked on our property and on the adjoining permission property getting ready for the upcoming deer season.  My wife and her sister in law own 94 acres and her deceased cousin's wife owns 98 acres that adjoins it. That's the ~200 acres we deer hunt on. The 94 acres were clear cut this past summer and we are having to change our setup from thick forest hunting to clear cut hunting.  I'm excited the next couple of years will be productive on those clear cut acres.
Today I'm ready to rest. Hopefully airgunning will happen today.

The usual ouch alarm at 3:00am, no BCs today due to platelet donation, move vehicle parts to vehicle that is being repaired, hopefully the weather this weekend will be nice to start that project, round up groceries and animal feed for the zoo, repair parts are in for the tractor so that will be a quickie fix for today. 

[Blowpipe Sam]

Mornin Ya'll.  That sounds like a sweet permission you have Dan!  I'm driving boats today.  There will be something interesting going on out on the river for certain.

Thanks Carter, yes it is. We saw eight deer yesterday plus a covey of quail and a bunch of bunnies.

Good morning GTA! Up at 0500 CT. Having my coffee and getting ready to roll out to work. Since I was so far out yesterday, I already have 2 calls on me because a new one has priority over the one l was supposed to hit first thing this morning. The first one shouldn’t be too big a deal. For some reason the control system won’t let them turn the thermostats down past 76*. I’ll figure that one out, then I have a cooler problem someone else already said was working fine. We shall see.

Good morning GTA! Up at 0530 CDT. It's 54° right now suppose to get up to 77° today under sunny skies.  I rode my Yamaha 4-wheeler yesterday and I had a blast even though my face found many many spiders and spiderwebs along the trail.

I need to figure a roof replacement for my snipers hide. Hurricane Ida removed the one I had on it.
